A Rat's Tale

Growing up I had one. That really long strand of hair that went down the back of my neck. Some kids up'd the cool factor by having their entire head buzzed except for that one strand in the back thus giving them a true rat tail appearance.

Alex is now a little over two years old and has yet to get his first hair cut. It's coming soon, but we are just not ready yet. Yesterday we were hanging out around the pool when he turned around. The water had laid his hair flat across his back and the result was a very long lock of hair going straight down his back.

"Check it out! Alex has got a rat tail!!"
"Where Dad?! I don't see a rat!"
"On his head Adam. It's a rat tail"
"Alex has got a rat in his hand?"
"No his hair looks like a rat's tail"
"I don't see a rat on his head...."

I tried to explain it a dozen times, but Adam still kept looking for a rat.

About Me

I’m just your average southern guy learning how to be the best dad I can.
I live in a small town in Alabama with my wife Mandy, 5yr-old son Adam, and 1 1/2 yr old Alex. Adam was born on 3/20/06 and that's when the adventure truly began.
I call myself Charlie Blockhead because #1 I’m a huge Peanuts fan, #2 Sometimes I do thing’s that are so….out of this world bizarre that even I am left wondering what happened.
I am a religious person, but it took me a long time to figure that out. Over the past few years it has been my goal to form solid opinions about life issues, politics, and what is right and wrong. I have been the child of a close family, a child of divorce, a nerd in school, a comic book geek, the stepson of an angry man, the brother of a baseball star, a frat bro, a hard worker, a freelance writer, an evil bill collector, a loving husband, a believer in Christ, a Deacon,a guy who just really likes to laugh, and most importantly a dad….. Maybe I’m not so average after all.
